Reorder PDF pages

Rearrange every page of a PDF into an order you choose.

Reads: a PDF — application/pdf
Writes: one file — PDFs
Tool page: /reorder-pdf-pages

Example

Turn a document that came out back to front the right way round.

Given

reversed.pdf — an ordinary PDF of 4 pages

From code

            import { loadDocument, runOperation } from '@pagecraft/core';

const reversed = await loadDocument({ bytes, name: 'reversed.pdf' });

const [output] = await runOperation('reorder', [reversed], {
  order: '4,3,2,1',
});

From a shell

            pagecraft reorder reversed.pdf --order 4,3,2,1

What comes back

One PDF of 4 pages.

This example is run by the test suite. If it stopped being true, the build would fail.

Options

`order--order`Required

string, a page selection: '1-3, 7, 9-', 'even', 'last'

New order

Every page of the document, in the order you want them: '3, 1, 4, 2'. Reverse a document with '4-1'.

What it cannot do

Every page has to appear exactly once. To drop pages, use Delete pages; to keep only some, use Extract pages.
